Lecture 2 – Chapters 13/14/15
International firms face two pressures: cost reduction and local responsiveness
4 international strategies: on exam!!
1. Global standardization (IKEA)
a. Looks to reap the cost
reductions that come from
economies of scale.
b. Goal is to pursue low-cost
strategy on global scale.
c. Avoids customization
d. Companies tend to have an
informal corporate culture,
few titles, no corporate
dining rooms, no executive
parking places etc.
2. Localization strategy (Netflix)
a. Customizes the firm’s goods or services so they are a good match to tastes
and preferences in different national markets.
b. Customization limits the ability of the firm to capture the cost reduction
associated with mass-producing a standardized product for global
consumption.
c. Not McDonalds because they’re not under cost reduction pressure
d. Netflix delivers different content in different countries,
3. Transnational strategy (Babybel)
a. Achieve low costs, differentiate product offerings to account for local
differences.
b. Places conflicting demands on the company: differentiating the product to
respond to local demands in different geographic markets raises costs, which
runs counter to the goal of reducing costs
4. International strategy (Microsoft)
a. Taking products developed for domestic market and selling them
internationally with minimal local customization.
